Blownstar '09

I just got off the phone with Supergurl and it's on! She has used some of her contacts with the Justice League to acquire a 2000 acre ranch for the drunken festivities writers meet. It is a stone's throw from historic Camp Verde and from what she told me it's a SWEET place. Can you say pool, ranch house and 2000 acres to shoot guns play on, longhorn cattle and other wildlife roaming around and a view from one of the taller hills around! It is crip friendly NO STEPS and the owner of the ranch is gonna hang with us. She has set the date for July 16-19th. Drop your RSVP in the comments and let's get ready to rumble!!!

Any one that is serious about coming e-mail supergurl here. chouchope@gmail.com

200 bucks each person for three nights (guestimating, but it depends on total guests)? you will probably have to sleep with your gf, lot's of queens and kings, but no one sleeps alone at blownstar. remember: all i wanted was a freakin sandwich.

Yeah, I figured that's what happened. Either that or I thought maybe you were tired of listening to my drunken slurred speech. BWAHAHAHA!

Like you were saying though, Paul and I should try to coordinate inbound flight arrivals so we can get there around the same time on Thursday. If I have to sit in the airport bar for a while waiting, I won't be terribly upset...

Well I suppose someone had to mention it. I was sure it was going to be Paul or kerrcarto though. Heh heh!

Yeah Denny, pace is a good thing. Part of the problem last year was the eight Jack and Cokes I had on an empty stomach on the flight out. I was hammered when the plane touched down and then kerrcarto was feeding me beers on the drive to the spot. THIS year I'm sticking with beer only and will only have enough to calm my nerves on the flight.

Supergurl, do you still have that PayPal account set up? You know I'm good for the dinero. If it's easier for you to have me send you a check/money order I can do that too, but PayPal might be a little quicker. Just a suggestion/stupid question...

JackieD, DFW? Last time I flew into SAT because I was told it was closer. I guess I'll have to email Supergurl and get a map. Your offer is much appreciated...

CD, San Antonio is much closer, but I wanted to give y'all the option as you search. I don't think anyone flies from Paul's area directly to San Antone - and I am one of those people that would rather be in constant motion rather than sitting at an airport waiting on a connection!

FOD

FOD is the brainchild of Paul, who hates Mondays almost as much as he hates the Cooncracker. You don't have to fly the one fingered salute. But it helps. Send your picture to gravdigr@cebridge.net Put FOD in the subject line.

Drunken Fools

Pure Genius

A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her.~W.C. Fields

Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.~Benjamin Franklin

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.~Hunter S. Thompson

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, That's as good as they're going to feel all day.~Frank Sinatra

Here's to a long life and a merry oneA quick death and an easy oneA pretty girl and an honest oneA cold beer and another one!~Author Unknown

Once during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.~W.C. Fields

Well ya see, Norm, it's like this.... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

~Cliff Clavin

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

~ Dave Barry

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

~Henny Youngman

Our Lager which art in barrelsSwallowed be thy drinkAt home, as it is in the tavernForgive our spillagesAs we forgive those who spill against usLead us not into incarcerationBut deliver us from hangoverFor thine is the beer, the bitter and the barley.Barmen~The Beer's Prayer

Alcohol May Be Man's Worst Enemy

But The Bible Says Love Your Enemy

~ Frank Sinatra

That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink…If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen. - Charles Bukowski

The liver is evil and must be punished. - Author Unknown

I would kill everyone in this room for a drop of sweet beer. -Homer Simpson

Write drunk; edit sober. - Ernest Hemingway

I take every day one beer at a time, one beer every sip at a time. - Dennis Leary
